General FAQs

How do I know which service is right for me?
Please spend some time reading through my website to learn more about the practice ethos.
The best way to determine if my practice and this work is aligned for you, is to book a consultation call
so that we have an opportunity to connect, you can ask any questions and we can determine
some options to support your journey.

Do I need prior experience with energy work, yoga, or grief rituals to participate?
No. While prior experience is a bonus, there are no prerequisites for this work.
All I ask is that you come with an open mind and heart.

Can these practices replace medical or mental health care?
These practices are not a replacement for medical or mental health care. I highly recommend having a team of providers that support your needs and best interests. My practice lens is that of spiritual companionship and energy mapping modalities. Please speak with your healthcare providers regarding this work and your medical needs if you have any further questions before continuing into this work. Additionally, please note that if you have a pacemaker you must consult with your primary care provider before receiving Reiki services.|If you are seeking resources for providers please feel free to reach out and I may have some recommendations I can pass along!

How long are sessions, and how often should I come?
Sessions range from 75-120 minutes to provide ample time for us to settle into space together. Consultations are free and last 30 minutes.

Do I need to prepare anything before a session?
Please make sure all intake forms are filled out at least 24 hours before our session so that I may properly prepare for our time together.
We will have time to discuss your intake form and anything that has come up for you before we begin.

Can sessions be done remotely/online or are they always in-person?
Sessions can be done virtually. Please send me an email or schedule a general consultation so that we can determine if my work can support you on your journey.
My seasonal offering, The Inner Tidal is focused on local clients, but is open to all who express interest. If you are not local but still interested in this work please reach out to connect!

How should I dress for yoga or energy work sessions?
It is recommended you dress in whatever way is most comfortable for you. During sessions, the body may cool down and so I may suggest an additional layer. Blankets and warming pads are provided during in person sessions.

Are these services suitable for all ages and abilities? Do you work with minors?
Sessions are suitable for individuals of all ages. Those under 18 will require parental consent prior to scheduling a session.

Reiki / Energy Work

What will I feel during a Reiki session?
People experience a wide range of things during session. It is important to release any expectation of what you think should or want to happen. Releasing any wants or needs allows the energy to flow. Some examples of things people experience are: colors, body sensations (tinging, heat, cool), animals, words or symbols, sacred spaces, passed loved ones, spirit guides.

Are there any side effects I should expect?
It is important to note that there is an integration window immediately after receiving energy work. I recommend being extra gentle, compassionate and attentive to your needs in the first 48 hours. Offer yourself the practices that are calling to you and take notes or journal as you are called. You may notice you feel extra thirsty after an energy session. Please (always) be mindful of staying hydrated as you integrate your healing work.

Can I combine Reiki with other therapies or medications?
Yes, you can absolutely combine alternative energy therapies and modalities. Collaboration is important to me, so if you would like me to connect with another one of your providers on your experiences within our sessions, I have release forms for this. Please speak with your healthcare providers regarding this work and your medical needs if you have any further questions before continuing into this work. Additionally, please note that if you have a pacemaker you must consult with your primary care provider before receiving Reiki services. If you are seeking resources for providers please feel free to reach out and I may have some recommendations I can pass along!

Is Reiki safe during pregnancy?
Yes, Reiki is considered safe during pregnancy. You may discover a deeper connection to your baby in utero and welcoming your little one into the world. Please feel free to reach out regarding private work for journeying through pregnancy. Please speak with your healthcare providers regarding this work and your medical needs if you have any further questions before continuing into this work. Additionally, please note that if you have a pacemaker you must consult with your primary care provider before receiving Reiki services.
